I think you may find food courts, street vendors and even restaurants preparing some southern dishes especially if they come from that area. A local restaurant (for me) is operated by a family from the south so they do prepare some dishes based on the spice blend (prik gaeng) they have shipped from home. When available my favorite is Sataw Goong, sataw is a tree bean also called stink beans, which is a very spicy curry with shrimp and stinkbeans.
